Method 1:
"Kokopelli stimulates my imagination and is truly my friend I hold the Native American legends of this sacred figure in the highest esteem And treasure this precious Kachina who allows me to dream. "

Dreamwork is lucid and while in the state of dreaming. Participants are a collective of dream characters. A Project 14 dream table is assembled. The dreamer is Eric Lindblom. (See: http://dreamtable.bravehost.com)
The Ullman dream table method is applied:
"Group Dream Work - Ullman Jungian therapist Montague Ullman developed a highly structured group method of exploring dreams... It is a 4-phase process:
1) A dreamer volunteers and tells a dream in detail. Others may only interrupt to ask clarifying (non-interpretive) questions.
2) Others take the dream as their own, speaking of it as if they had actually dreamed it. They suggest what the dream might mean for them. The dreamer listens without participating.
3) The dream is officially returned to its original creator. The dreamer may respond to everyone else's input, and may share her/his own insights.
4) The dreamer thinks further about the dream, and reports (at a later time) any additional insights."

The Psychology of Consciousness
Alternative Methods of Thought:
A further factor in Project 14 is in that not all researchable questions in Project 14 will appear to be related at first glance. The questions are in dynamic equilibrium. Not all will appear linear and logical at first glance. Some may appear to be the result of altered states of consciousness such as in the anomalous experience areas of dreamwork. As well, several Project 14 Mini-Projects use systems thinking concepts (von Bertalanffy) that are cutting edge such as Spiritual Systems, Network thinking and also Native American ways of seeing that are not European in origin. These algorithms may appear unfamiliar to the western mind at first glance. Some work has been done on each way of seeing such as post modern and inter cultural but much of the work of Project 14 is still very new and, thereby, understandably unfamiliar and anomalous (unusual or odd as opposed to even and easily understandable).
It gets worse and here comes the warning! It has been said that not all of Project 14, thereby, reflects traditional Western Thought (Plato and Aristotelian Humanism). For example, Mapuche Native American thinking doesn't follow Aristotelian thought processes and there is no reason this project knows why Mapuche thinking should follow western thought.
Mapuche thinking is an alternative. (For an introduction to the general concept of alternative ways of seeing, please consult any of anthropologist Carlos Castaneda's books for a taste of the alternative cutting edge in Native American thought. Keep in mind while reading that Sr. Castaneda was Peruvian not Chilean. His background, thereby, is Inca not Mapuche.)
For introductions to Mapuche thinking, there are many easily addressed websites on the world wide web that describe the thinking of the Mapuche Nation. A familiarity with the Spanish language may be needed for some of the Mapuche websites. When the Mapuche language (Mapudungun or Mapudungu meaning: mapu meaning the land and dungun meaning speech), is used, there is usually a translation into Spanish or English for the convenience of the western reader.
To further summarize and conclude, most likely the major way Project 14 is related to a larger concern is in that the various Mini-Projects are related to the ongoing violent and Latin American Dirty War (called WWIII by Project 14) and violence in general worldwide especially toward endemic peoples.
